And behold, there came a man named Jairus,....See Gill on "Mr 5:22".and he was a ruler of the synagogue; at Capernaum; and it was the more remarkable, that such an one should come to Christ, and express any regard to his person, or faith in his power, and therefore a "behold" is prefixed to this account; See Gill on "Mt 9:18".
